A boat is a watercraft of modest size designed to float or plane, to provide passage across water. Usually this water will be inland (lakes) or in protected coastal areas. However, boats such as the whaleboat were designed to be operated from a ship in an offshore environment. In naval terms, a boat is something small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship). Strictly speaking and uniquely a submarine is a boat as defined by the Royal Navy. Some boats too large for the naval definition include the Great Lakes freighter, riverboat, narrowboat and ferryboat.

How many registered boats are there in the UK?
Q. Putting together a business plan and wondering about how many boats there are in the UK. Trying to find out the exact number of boats would be near impossible, so I was wondering if there's a record of how many registered boats there are?
Asked by Shane B - Sat Dec 26 08:28:15 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. British Waterways alone licenses over 32000 craft in the UK then there is the Environment Agency for most other rivers plus the Broads Authority then there are all the coastal craft and do not forget what is left of the fishing fleet and we do actually have a small merchant fleet so let us say for arguments sake over 100,000

How do you make boats more efficient?
Q. It's for a project. I'm researching how to make travel more efficient and my topic is on boats. Thanks in advance!
Asked by teeheehee - Sat Sep 12 11:20:07 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. this is what comes to mind right offhand: 1. Lighten the load. 2. Weight distribution (optimal balance varies for different hull designs). 3. Lift as much of the boat and motor(s) out of the water as possible to reduce hydrodynamic drag. 4. Streamline the hull to reduce aerodynamic drag. 5. Avoid sharp corners to reduce electromagnetic signature. 6. Never travel upstream or against the wind. 7. Paint it red. Ignore #5 through #7.

A boat is a watercraft, usually smaller than most ships. Some boats are commonly carried by a ship or on land using trailers.
